Formed in December 1989, the Houston chapter covers the greater Houston area. Houston is considered to be the model-chapter for new student recruitment as its alumni admission ambassadors cover college fairs and prospective student interviews to recruit the very best students to the university.

Each spring, the chapter also hosts one of the most successful alumni events among all the chapters, its annual Wine and Wildflowers gathering. Houston is home to former Alumni Association Board member John Haessly (CIT '63) and current board member Susan Magee Raia (WRC '83, MGT '85).
